EXHIBITOR GEOGRAPHICAL BREAKDOWN (2018)

EXHIBITOR SENIORITY BREAKDOWN

Taking place on the first day of We Are Africa, FUSE turns the traditional conference model on its head, channelling similarly groundbreaking events in tech, advertising and media to create a radical, collaborative un-conference. We’re calling on the brightest minds in the industry – the We Are Africa tribe – to create the content yourselves. You’ll be joined by key influencers from progressive, relevant industries for an immersive programme designed to promote collaboration, maximise creativity and set light to a new vision for the future of high-end African travel and hospitality.
